LISTEN & LEARN

Conversation on the National Anthem

In June 2010, the Goshen College Board of Directors recommended a year-long “Listen & Learn” conversation, including: the formation of a representative working group to meet regularly and give oversight and leadership to the process; that an e-survey be distributed for participation by key Goshen College stakeholders (alumni, faculty, staff and students); a series of regional events to invite more in-depth levels of engagement around the anthem decision as it fits into the overall vision of the college; and on-campus opportunities for dialogue.

The Listen & Learn Steering Committee was formed to give oversight and design leadership to the "Listen & Learn" process and to serve as a depository for collecting and interpreting responses on behalf of the Board of Directors.
